Just because my avatar is that of a jackel doesn't mean I should go around biting the hand that feeds me. I was in no way attacking your opinions ma'am, in fact I agree wholeheartedly with a vast majority of the opinions you expressed about the candidate. Its also good that you go with your gut, very few tend to do that nowadays, its served me well and so I go by that. Hell even got me through college, poly sci no less, try having to explain a gut reaction to a class filled with ideologues only to actually come out on top in the end. I've got my own theories about McCain, I think George Soros was playing favorites through funding and through media, I know for a fact McCain has been funded by him to an extent but to the degree I don't know.
Now that I'm fully awake and can convey the "why" for my opinion earlier, other than the emotional side which you saw, in short the info that was posted earlier while I still don't believe it, I am now aware that there could be another side to the story. These are some very damning charges, I would like to see some equally damning evidence to support and I just don't see enough of it to make a call. For example I saw on that site you posted I see "declassified DOD doc" cited as a source, I'd like to see that document in its entirety wouldn't you? Taking quotes out of context is a dangerous game, one that everybody has been playing lately on the right and the left. My degree is in political science, for four years plus a semester of grad school I've heard things like this on just about everybody and maybe now you can see why I'm skeptical on everything, most especially internet sites.
There is one more thing, there are penty of conservatives who can't stand McCain being the nominee: Rush, Coulter, Malkin, Glenn to name a few; out of all of those I would think that someone might have caught a wind of this long ago. Now, I'm not saying that somebody won't come up with a story soon and reveal everything about all these piss poor candidates we have to choose from but sadly I'm not holding my breath.
Marshal'ette if you are, in the end, right about this all along I will be the first to admit I was wrong and that you were right; after all a woman's intuition is a hell of a tool to have in the arsenal. I just hope for all our sakes that this article is exactly what I called it earlier and if its not, then I hope something can be done before its too late.
BTW Thanks for putting up with me, you rock Marshal'ette!
